The 'H' stands for hentai.
More games is not a bad thing, but it seems like Japanese game developers have a unique idea of what we Americans would like.
You know what we like? If you made games like you did back in the PS1 and PS2 era. Make quality games and people will buy them, there is no need to "Westernize" it.

The only legitimately "fantastic" game Square-Enix has made this generation is The World Ends With You.

Hopefully by 'new IP' they mean an IP they've only used once.
By which I mean, I want a TWEWY sequel.

Japan considers to make a western action game (whatever this is) - The west is okay with this
Ubisoft considers making a japanese action game (feudal japan AC) - Japan isn't okay with this
hurr durr double standards.
But, uh, i'm legitimately afraid of whatever this game is. If they're doing user reviews overseas for gameplay and environmental elements, that means they were most likely talking to Call of Duty fans about what Square's next action game should be. . .
linear corridors...and from those rumored concept arts it may very well be in a modern-ish Europe...i'm scared. This isn't the Last Remnant where it was still very well a japanese game with japanese looking characters but some had western designs, they're approaching this game to be a pretty high percentage of western. I'm very scared.

to bad about ue..
Other than that, i cant really see them doing any worse. I havent bought a jpn squarenix game in 10 years, and i used to be a bit of a fanboy.

This is what I keep saying. They got closest with Matsuno's games and still haven't realized it yet. Now he's at Level-5.
A good first step would be to get Yoshida to do the art for this game but I can already tell they're probably outsourcing it to Massive Black or something.
I want...
1. 60 FPS. Please, Squeenix, don't fall into the decadent ways of the West!
2. Not strictly a cover-based shooter. This generation is littered with failed attempts to capitalize on the popularity of Gears of War, and I would hope they would have learned their lesson after Mindjack.
3. Sabin. Tell me a God Hand type game that lets you suplex trains wouldn't be awesome.

It seems like it would scale all right for an early generation title.

How the heck can you say that from one artwork where we see practically nothing?
I would assume that they did, in fact, learn from Last Remnant, which is why this will undoubtedly turn out more technically sound. Add to that that UE3 now has better Japanese documentation, and it's pretty much a sure thing.
What would you prefer me to make that assessment off of?
We have a general policy of having discussions based on the information at hand, as otherwise we would never discuss anything.
If I see more and think they haven't done a good job, I promise I will tell you.

I thought he had his face covered until I saw he was holding the sword with the right hand. <.<
He's at Level-5 now.
